Marine Microbiology: Resources, Ecology, and Biogeochemistry
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
The oceans harbor a tremendous diversity of marine microorganisms. Different microorganisms (including archaea, bacteria, micro-eukaryotes, and viruses) and their functional groups dominate various marine habitats and drive critical biogeochemical cycles. Environmental pressures and anthropogenic perturbations influence microbial community compositions and functioning. Microbial metabolic activities, in turn, alter marine environments, such as the development of hypoxia and acidification. This topic on “Marine Microbiology: Resources, Ecology, and Biogeochemistry” provides a platform to highlight new research and advances related to microbial products and technology, diversities, and environmental responses, as well as biogeochemical processes in marine systems.
